It was 8 years ago today that I got the dreaded phone call form my GP confirming that I had Type 2 diabetes. It's been an interesting time to say the least. Not quite sure how I feel about it today but going out for a Chinese with the family tonight anyway. XXXXX
 
Happy 8th Diaversary! I think that the 8th is the After Eight Mint Diaversary, but I'd have to look it up to be sure 😉

Enjoy your meal! 🙂
 
Have fun tonight....................these are the days we deserve a treat...........


I wish I could remember when I was diagnosed.................:(
 
Yes Happy Diaversary and enjoy your chinese tonight.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Diaversary.

Northerner, is this something of your own creation or something more widely known?

Diaversaries have been around since before my time, I think, but it just occured to me that there ought to be some special non-diabetic-friendly foodstuffs associated with each one! :D
 
8 years is a long time, strange how we can all recall the conversation with the doc on diagnosis.
 
Hope you have a great time tonight.

I can't remember the exact date, it was coming up to Easter 2006 and that is it. There were quite a few other things going on around that time for me too.
 
I knew it was towards the end of November but not the exact date. After I joined here I asked my Practice Nurse to check the exact date for me on my records.

After Eight Mints? Mmmmm! XXXXX
 
Happy Diaversary!!

8 years and still going strong! And you defo deserve to enjoy that Chinese tonight...we're all allowed treats - this is one of those ocassions....the others are birthdays (anyone's lol), Xmas, Easter, the weekends..... lol 🙂

Oh dear, I missed out on my 3rd Diaversary on 31st October this year - what was that one please ? (Lemon meringue pie ? and can I have it now or is it too late ?)
 
Happpy 8th diaversary faith have a good evening xxx
 
Happy 8th Diversary 🙂
 
Well, it was the first time I'd been for a 'propper' chinese since diagnosis and we had a real 'blow out'. I had a bit of everything and didn't really worry about what it was doing to me for once. Spring roll, prawn toast, sticky ribs, prawn crackers, crab claw, crispy seaweed and salt and pepper chicken wing for starter. Ginger and spring onion king prawns with special fried rice for main. Coconut icecream with mango, pineapple and kiwi for pudding. A G n T plus a huge glass of Rose wine....and a few After Eight Mints that my daughter bought for me after I told her what Alan had said on here. 🙂

I was tempted not to test so I wouldn't be too depressed at high numbers, but I did. 5.9 before eating, 8.2 after an hour, 8.7 after 2 hours and 7.2 after 3 hours. 🙂 I can live with that for a special occasion. I'm still stuffed though! XXXXX
 
Those are pretty good numbers Faith! Glad to hear you had such a good time - loved the fact that your daughter got you the mints! :D
 
Faith well done those are cracking numbers,pleased u had a good time
